Undamned’s UD-CPS2 has been a highly sought-after item since its announcement in 2011, and release in 2012. The “consolized” version of Capcom’s CPS2 arcade hardware has allowed players to easily use the original hardware found in arcades to play arcade-perfect versions of games such as Super Street Fighter II Turbo and Vampire Savior on their own TVs with modern USB joysticks.
Over recent years, production of the unit has slowed, with yet more people joining the wait list for the coveted item. Recently, Undamned took to SRK’s forums to announce that he was ceasing personal production of fully assembled UD-CPS2s. He cited an increased demand on his time elsewhere as one of the reasons. He currently has enough equipment to build 25 more, which already claimed three times over. After production of these, his focus will shift to releasing it into kit form.
While this sounds like sad news, the kit form will allow anyone with technical prowess to build their own at a lower cost than the actual assembled version from Undamned. Should you not have the prowess to do so yourself, Undamned is also creating a master list of approved modders who will be capable of doing the assembly for you. These moves will ultimately allow for more UD-CPS2 to be out in the wild than before.
